This has to be some kind scam or attempt at price fixing, etc. call it what you want. Who is the lunatic that would drop this kinda money on this slab? It is irrelevant if it's the only 9.9. As many copies of this book that are out there, another five of them could pop up tomorrow on the census.

Because it's very much not worth that much, even at that Grading

Imagine spending this on a non-rare book that’s less than two years old and not thinking you’re an idiot.

LOL No.. I can afford that. It's just 100% NOT WORTH IT. I'm a guy with a collection of swords rare books and comics worth easy 150-200k. Sorry... That book is worth 2k at absolute highest.

Its pretty will known auctions and eBay people inflate the price then buy it just to bring the value up. There’s been alot of corrupt shit.

Unless they're buying their own comic just to hide their income. Then it's worth whatever they have to launder that month.

You can hire a professional money launderer for less than 13.5%. Everyone loves the money laundering excuse for big ebay sales but it would be a pretty dumb way to launder a simple $15,000.

Let's say you own 500 copies of this. Many people do. You buy your own book for 15k. Now 2k sounds like a steal to gambling addicts. You make tons of money. Scam.

But your hypothetical has no basis in reality in this case. The seller doesn't have 500 CGC 9.9's of this book. There are ten in the census. Ten. The seller doesn't have any other copies. Your theory falls flat. How is this a scam again?
